California Los Angelos Harbor Lighthouse - (Angel s Gate) - In order to protect the Los Angelos Harbor from the erosive power of oncoming waves a long breakwater was constructed some distance offshore along the Harbor of Los Angelos which is actually located several miles south of Los Angelos in San Pedro. A lighthouse known as Angel s Gate was built at the opening of the breakwater to safely guide ships into the harbor by a flashing green light which flashes every 15 seconds. Angel s Gate lighthouse is the only lighthouse of its kind built in California. It stands 73-feet tall and has a steel frame the first two floors are steel plated to withstand the heavy seas. The light was first lit on March 1 1913. It used a fourth order Fresnel lens that flashed once every 15 seconds.
